[SOLVED] Can't use wifi on install

I'm trying to install Arch on my new laptop, but I'm having trouble with using wifi with my Broadcom Limited BCM43228 network controller.
I can detect it with lspci, but not with ifconfig, it only shows my ethernet port. What do I do?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan

Installed b43-firmware from AUR, now wifi works.
